Art is Fun – Step by step tutorial for vegetable carving.

Post navigation

Do you want to try an art in food? Are you looking for food art tips and techniques that will help along in your plate or buffet presentations?

We would break into a cold sweat if asked to draw a picture in front of a group of people. We would deny any artistic talent, make excuses, and do whatever it took to avoid being on the spot with a pencil in their hand. But ask a couple of five-year-olds to do the same thing, and within seconds they‘ll be drawing, explaining, and creating artistic masterpieces for all to see. So what happens between the age of 5 and us that makes us terrified to draw? What makes us afraid?

Most people think artists have some kind of gift, and suppose that a some artists are born with a talent for art. But, if you looked at the childhood drawings of 100 professional artists, you could find that 99 of them made the same type of scribbles and stick figures that you did as a kid. So we all are gifted the same. It’s the passion and your practice makes you perfect in this.

Wish you could carve? Here’s the good news: anyone can learn this art if you have a passion on this. Try it, if I can do it any one can do it!! An art in food is an extra spice in enjoying cooking!! Get your carving tools out, because Halloween is on its way, and we are going to do some really spooky ones this year!! The month of the year which, I enjoyed the most with my knives!!

Sumith the vegetable carving brings back memories of my school days. Did some simple carving with potatoes. One sister taught me. It is definitely an interesting part of art. Like your step by step pictures. Looks so cool and not so easy. Maybe trying will help one master. Lovely words of encouragement.

Hi Meena, Thank you for those sweet words. Memories from school days are amazing. Many of our hidden talents should be taken out there. What we missed should not happen to our kids. Recently I got a opportunity to teach these things in my son’s school and really enjoyed with those little kids. It’s easy to do once you try it. Have a nice day. Regards Sumith

Dear Sumith, you remind me of something Michelangelo is supposed to have said: “I just take a piece of marble and eliminate the unnecessary.” You do the same with fruit and vegetables. That’s what what true art is!

As I may have mentioned before, I love squash and pumpkins. But I was not at all prepared for the sheer volume and variety laid out before me since Fall has started. Its wondrous! The Butternut is claimed by Stow though I’m not entirely sure what they base that on. I’m pretty sure they would give you a hero’s welcome if you arrived in town given your artistic prowess with them!

Stunning work. Being able to work in three dimensions to create a piece of art out of a vegetable is beyond a lot of us in spite of your generous encouraging comments. I think I’ll just admire what you’ve accomplished.
